Review of Daddy's Home 2 (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 26 Nov 2017

It's more of the same, and is probably funnier than the first film, but Daddy's Home 2 is the opposite of subtle and Gibson's performance is bizarre…

Review of Suburbicon (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 26 Nov 2017

Suburbicon makes much of the venality lurking behind the carefully tended facades of post-war America's newly minted suburbia, and is not without…

By Ed Power (38) for Irish Independent (461) on 15 Nov 2017

Review of Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

All very interesting, no doubt, but this film tells its story in stilted fits and starts, and is oddly tasteful and decorous in its treatment…

Review of Paddington 2 (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

Yet again Paul King and his co-writer Simon Farnaby have wonderfully caught the playful innocence of the original stories while adding more…

Review of The Florida Project (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

The Florida Project is not a sentimental film and never fetishises its protagonists' poverty…

Review of Conor McGregor: Notorious (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 03 Nov 2017

For all his swagger, McGregor is more likeable than I thought and this watchable, if not especially illuminating, film will be warmly welcomed…

Review of Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 03 Nov 2017

Michelle Pfeiffer, Penelope Cruz, Josh Gad, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Daisy Ridley - this train positively teems with mildly overacting thespians,…

Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 03 Nov 2017

a gorgeously photographed and archly misanthropic film that is also wickedly funny…

Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 28 Oct 2017

Heat hangs heavy in the air in this beguiling, almost overpoweringly sensual drama, which is languidly paced, and filled with the sleepy sights…

Review of Property of the State (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 28 Oct 2017

Property Of The State clunks along like a TV movie and ultimately fails to justify its exhumation of this awful event…

Review of Breathe (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 28 Oct 2017

The opening scenes made me suspect I was about to endure a sickening bout of saccharine British Empire nostalgia…

Review of The Death of Stalin (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Oct 2017

Jeffrey Tambor is perfect as the lugubrious Malenkov, and Beale oozes malice as Stalin's sadistic henchman Beria…

Review of Marshall (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Oct 2017

While slowly choking on the worthiness of its subject matter, Marshall putters along perfectly pleasantly, and messrs Gad and Boseman are a…

Review of Happy Death Day (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Oct 2017

While Happy Death Day starts well enough and is very proud of its sense of humour, it's too lazy to bother its arse when the time comes to…

Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Oct 2017
